Wilmington police are investigating the death of a man who lived under the Third Street bridge.

The body of Kendrick Glenn Gore, 50, was found early Wednesday morning on top of the bridge, in the 600 block of N. Third Street, police spokeswoman Linda Rawley said. Gore lived under the bridge, which is between Campbell and Hanover streets.

Police received a call about a body on the bridge at 6:48 a.m. Wednesday.

Police believe Gore died of natural causes but are still investigating to rule out foul play.

"He was a regular downtown that everybody kind of knew," Rawley said.

Traffic on Third Street was tied up for about two hours, with the southbound lane closed, while police secured the scene, Rawley said.
